The Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) test evaluates your blood sugar, kidney function, and electrolyte balance.

Markers Measured:

  • Glucose - a critical energy source for cells and organs. Used to diagnose diabetes and hypoglycemia.

  • Calcium - essential for nerve, muscle and heart functions and bone formation.

  • BUN/Creatinine Ratio (calculated) - evaluation of kidney function

  • Sodium - plays a central role in maintaining the normal distribution of water and osmotic pressure.

  • Potassium - essential for proper muscle and nerve function.

  • Chloride - helps keep the balance of fluids, maintain blood volume, stabilize blood pressure and balance the pH of body fluids.

  • Carbon Dioxide (bicarbonate) - used to evaluate the total carbonate buffering system and acid-base balance.

WHY TEST?

This panel provides information on the status of an individual's blood electrolytes, glucose levels, kidney status and acid-base balance. It helps detect issues like kidney disease, diabetes, and imbalances in your body's minerals.

Typically ordered as part of a routine health examination, regular BMP tests can help monitor and manage your overall health.

TEST PREP: Overnight fasting is required for this panel (10-12 hours without food)
